Barrett-Jackson is gearing up for another adrenaline-filled auction with some of the world’s most coveted ’60s to ’70s era custom vehicles during its 48th Annual Scottsdale Auction, January 12-20, 2019, at WestWorld of Scottsdale. Collectors worldwide continue to make well-built custom vehicles a part of their collection, like a ’63 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Custom Coupe (Lot #1333) built by Jeff Hayes and American Speed Shop. Another hotly anticipated custom is the ’65 “SN65 Mustang” (Lot #1325), which masterfully integrates two unibody cars separated by 40 years of production.

Three impressive customs crossing the block in Scottsdale at No Reserve combine high-quality craftsmanship with the fun of top-down cruising. A ’61 Oldsmobile Starfire (preview) from the Bryan Frank Collection features lead bodywork, custom top, reupholstered white leather and chrome wire wheels. Showcased at the 2017 SEMA Show, a topless ’62 Cadillac roadster conversion (Lot #1041) has a full shaved exterior with a ʼ14 Cadillac CTS-V interior upholstered in leather and Alcantara suede. A ’65 Pontiac GTO convertible (preview) is powered by a Butler Performance 467ci big-block engine and dressed in flawless Candy Root Beer paint; it rides on Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Mickey Thomson tires.

Another sought-after custom will be a ’67 Chevelle (Lot #1447) featured on the 10th season of “Chop Cut Rebuild,” which took a year to build. The car features custom upgrades inside and out, including tucked and shaved bumpers, wheels with red line tires, Nu-Relic power windows, Vintage Air and Audio Shoppe sound system. “Grandma’s Furyous” is a creative take on a ’66 Plymouth Fury Coupe (Lot #986). An original, rust-free body, the car was completely stripped and refinished and upgraded with an 500ci aluminum big block capable of cranking out 600 horsepower.
